ePMA Implementation Guidance for FHIR STU3

This guidance is under active development by NHS Digital and content may be added or updated on a regular basis.
Please note: This guidance has been superseded by the Implementation guide for digitial medicines, which contains up-to-date information.

Element: basedOn

A reference to any number of CarePlan, MedicationRequest, ServiceRequest or ReferralRequest resources.

Recommendation: not implemented as part of an MVP to reference a previous medication request. Instead use priorPrescription.

If the clinical system has implemented the CarePlan resource, a logical link to the care plan for which the medication request is based has business benefit.
